5 charged with conspiring to bribe juror in $40M federal food-aid theft trial in Minneapolis.

Five people have been charged with conspiring to bribe a juror in a high-profile federal trial in Minneapolis with a bag of $120,000 in cash. The trial involved seven defendants accused of stealing over $40 million from a federal food-aid program meant to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The alleged bribe attempt was reported as the trial was wrapping up, and the juror who reported the incident was removed from the case before deliberations began.
